2008のなつ

２００８年のなつに、中国からアメリカへいきました。旅行をいったり、クラスをしたりしました。それはわたしがアメリカにきたにどめでも、わたしはとてもこうふんしていました。このプログラムのなめえは『Harvard Summer School』です。Harvard大学はボストのちかくのとしにあります。このとしのなまえはCambridgeです。Cambridgeはちょっとちいさいですが、しずかで、きれいで、たのしくて、すてきなとしです。

わたしは7月２１日にHarvard大学につきました。そして、天気はとてもよかったです。夏の天気はいちばんすごしやすいきせつだとおもいます。７月と８月は非常にあつくなっていないでした。いろいろなくにからきたわたしのクラスに１５人の学生がいました。わたちは大きな家族のようでした。まいにちごぜん９時からごご３時までEmerson Hallであいました。クラスは、私たちは英語の学術の仕事をぶんせきしたり、ろんぶんをかいたりしました。読むことののちで、わたしたちはグループではなしあうことができました。ですから、えいごのしようをかいぜんしてもいいでした。まいしゅうまつ、私たちはいっしょに美術館にいってきました。ときには、わたしたちは映画をみにいきました。

これは、今まで私のいちばんたのしいじかんです。

 これレストランの名はさんちゃん（Sun Chan)です。
  It's a small place that is hidden along the street. Several weeks before it doesn't even have a signboard. However, after one dinner, you can never forget this place. This is my second time came to this restaurant. ちょとうたかいですが、totally worth it. The picture is some very cute decorate on the bar.

サーカーをのんでことができません、２０さいから。残念ですね。

 This is my order!! Isn't it wonderful? The waiter told me to dip the noodle in the soup. Super delicious!
Using a popular chinese word to describe this restaurant is:给力！(gei li)

Composition 1

たかなさんへ：

おげんきですか。アメリカへいきますか。わたしはニューヨークにすんでいます。だから私は、ニューヨークをほうもんすることをおすすめします。ニューヨークはとてもきれいで、にぎやかなとかいです。あさごはんの前に、Central parkへさんぽうします、くうきがとてもしんせんですから。そして、メトルポリタン美術館へ行かなければなりません。メトルポリタン美術館はとてもおもくて、きれいです。それは世界のいちばんおきいびじゅつかんです。ごごには、タイムスクエアとソーホー（soho)　へ行いてください。タイムスクエアはとても有名で、にぎやかで、きれいところです。ショッピングをしたり、えいがおみことができます。

ニューヨークの春はとてもよくて、たのしいです。

About Communication

This is what we will do for our pod-casting project-- Iron chef!
For this project, I expected to learn new Japanese word, Japanese-kind  humor and so on. Also, I expected to learn how to use I-movie, though i missed the i-movie workshop. Also, I want to learn how to speak Japanese naturally, as I always thought I spoke Japanese in a wired way. Communication is an exchange and share of different ideas and different information. Also, communication can be made by facial expressions, eye contact, body movement and even sounds.

新学期スタート!!

二十年後の私

二十年後、わたしはちゅうごくへかえります。そして、わたしはけっこんています。わたしの夫の名は　ひらかわ　です。わたしたちはかわいいむすめがいます。わたしは月曜日から金曜日までぎんこではたらします。わたしのかぞくはいつもしゅうもつりょこうますから、おくのまちへいきます。いま、わたしのかぞくはきれいなまちに住んでいます。まちのなまえは　上海です。上海はとてもにぎやかですが、すこしたかいです。でも、わたしは上海のせいかつはもなれもした。

Katakana Analyze (FINAL)

　　The two Katakana words I chose are both from the website of  Hello Kitty: http://www.sanrio.co.jp/
      One word is キャラクター which means "Character". This is a loan word which is borrowed  from English and incorporated into Japanese. The other word is the name of the hello kitty company: サンリオ (Sanrio). I don't think this is a loanword cause there is no meaning for "Sanrio" in English. So this is might just a expression of the names of companies. As I known, a lot companies in Japan express their name in Katakana. Like Toyota トヨタ。
       In order to rich my Katakana analyze, I decide to add more katakana which is not loan word.

       First word is from a animated featured film I recently watched "秒速5センチメートル" by Mokoto Shinkai.

桜の花の落ちるスピード。This is a sentence speaks by the girl"明里". The Katakana word"ピード" is not a loan word as my last two katakana. It's a Onomatopoeia. It descride the sound when cherry fall on the ground. "bi-do". 

Second word is from a PS2 Game.

"ドン　ド　コ　ドン" This is also a very cute Onomatopoeia which immitate the sound of drumming.

       Katakana is used instead of Hiragana to give the pronunciation of a word written in Roman characters, or for a foreign word or for company name. Using Katakana is to distinguish between native words and foreign words. This is meaningless to create a new Hiragana word which has the same pronunciation with the foreign word.
       Each textbook is different in explaining katakana because Katana is a flexible form. There is no such rule that in what circumstances Katanaka must be used. We can actually create Katatana word if we want. Therefore, categorize them in a same way is very hard. In lyrics, for emphasis or to change meaning, Katakana was also used differently in past times than now. And in this fast changing society, as in when Japan opened up to European and America, it brings a lot influence to Katakana. A lot words were created and I believe there are still a lot words are creating now. Because of this, I think there is no one right way to define Katakana, and so every textbook is a different person's perspective on this varying history and unique characteristic of the Japanese.

❤「源氏物语」生田斗真の2011❤全国で公开

[Tale of Genji] 

My favorite picture! So Handsome

The Tale of Genji (源氏物語) is a classic work of japanese culture attributed to the Japanese noblewoman Murasaki Shikubu in the early eleventh century, around the peak of the Heian period. It is sometimes called the world's first novel, the first modern novel, the first psychological novel or the first novel still to be considered a classic. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_Genji

I first read it in a Literary class during my freshman year. I was confused about all the kinds of relationship between Genji and those women. However, I like it. (= =|||)

きょとう （京都）

はよう！

きょうとはわたしのすきなにっぽんのとしです。

Kyoto is the city I always want to visit. I planed the visit there last summer before I flew back to China but I didn't make it. Anyway, it become my biggest regret now.

Kyoto is a historical city with traditional Japanese culture.

The second picture is typical maiko dress, hair ornaments, and nape make-up. I'm going to try it the next time I visit Kyoto!
